Have you tried brooding at ground level? It just doesn't work, and it would be a shame to waste all those expensive gargoyles.

Had one of those "you know you're a gamer when..." moments tonight.

We have a little menu board in the kitchen. At the beginning of each week, Mrs. Skinypupy writes on it what we are planning for dinner each day. Tomorrow was rotisserie chicken, but she didn't have enough room so it was shortened to RTS Chicken.

I was really confused as to what real time strategy had to do with either dinner or chicken.

Anyone want to come to my part of NJ and spend the night at Camp Crystal Lake?

As a Boy Scout I've camped there and it really is a creepy experience. Would recommend.

Perhaps she was challenging your skills in WH40K: Dawn of War. She clearly understands fear denies faith.

My pants have a 5 point waist connection system.

Clasp
Inner button
Outer button
Belt
Zipper

Is all this really necessary?

My belt holds my pants up, but the belt loops hold my belt up. I don't really know what's happening down there. Who is the real hero?

RIP Mitch, RIP.

I have a pair of Dockers that have a button and clasp. Weird thing is they don't really line up, so I usually ignore the clasp. And yea, I do the belt. And I try to remember to zip up.

I have received more nice comments from the ladies about wearing suspenders with my suits than anything else. It makes for a nice schtick to make sure you're memorable.

These were the only suspenders I ever owned...pins and all. I doubt most would consider them cool.

I'll never get used to the notion of American men wearing "suspenders" with their trousers (where I come from, "suspenders" are primarily worn by women, and refers to the elastic garments used to prevent stockings from slipping down).

Braces are what hold yer trousers up.

True fact: Mork's suspenders were 40% cocaine.

Garters, and braces are what straighten your teeth.

Getting down hardly seems like a chore when you're batman. Or wombderwoman.

Now, though, 'belt and braces' makes more sense.

We may be taking this sexist thing too far... or hilarious typo. One or the other.

I look forward to the day I retire and start wearing suspenders with a waistline mid chest and exposed socks, just so long as my inseam isn't trying to floss my taint. That's got to be as close as you can come to being in public pantless without actually getting to be pantsless.

but more importantly, we need hammertime pants to come back in vouge (en vouge?... to be accepted by pop culture). Some where in the the 90s the length of beltline to bottom of the crotch shrunk and this happened in concert with a drastic expansion of my waist. The contents of that area are not happy with combination of events.

That's what I'm talking about. (Hepcat's manacle, waiting to fall into his drink, not included)

On ME it's a MANacle, anyone else it's a monocle.

Or you could be really cool and wear just one spat... Or one spat and one spur. One for each boot.

I suppose it's because I'm olde but I don't feel the need to see a video of the news and other stories unless there is something happening, like an avalanche or a building blowing up. But just to see reporters and commentators talking is a waste of my eyesite.
There are just too many videos out there that don't need to be there.
And that's not counting the regular type of crap videos.

Agreed, teletype was so much better.

I used to run a teletype network. And yes, it was better than video.
